“Rory and a few friends spend the day in the park. He likes Rebecca in a genuine, puppy dog way that is so evident he makes no point of denying it when asked point blank. It is her birthday, and he has set up a big surprise for her, but when the other friends tell her about a party that Rory is specifically not invited to, will she leave Rory behind? And how will Rory react?” Written and directed by the now New York-based Shahir Daud, shot in New Zealand.
